22CHAPTER 1: INSTALLATION

Starting IP Telephony Manager

After you complete the installation and modify the path statement, you can start IP Telephony Manager.

To start the IP Telephony Manager, from the command line prompt, type one of these commands:

# xtcmvfpd

or

# xtcmvfpd <target chassis IP address>

The first command causes a list of the chassis components to display. You can then select the component that you want to start. The second command specifies the IP address of the component that you want started.

The IP Telephony Manager graphical user interface (GUI) opens a virtual display of the target chassis. If the virtual display does not appear, set and export the paths according to the instructions in this chapter.

For a complete description of the menus on the GUI, refer to Chapter 3 Navigating and Using the System.

CommWorks IP Telephony Manager lets you configure and monitor any CommWorks IP Telephony entity (for example the Media Gateway, Gatekeeper, Accounting Server, Billing Support Server.) on your system. To connect to the individual entities:

1Start IP Telephony Manager.

2Click File, and click Open, and then click New from the IP Telephony Manger Console window.
